John -

I get a similar variable list using a newish TDS (Version 4.3.15-SNAPSHOT - 
20121124.1533):

http://64.9.200.113:8080/thredds/catalog/glos/glcfs/archivecurrent/michigan/ncfmrc-3d/catalog.html?dataset=glos/glcfs/archivecurrent/michigan/ncfmrc-3d/Lake_Michigan_-_Nowcast_-_3D_-_Current_Year_best.ncd


Older TDS has expected variable names (Version 4.2.9):

I'm having trouble displaying properly formatted variable names for the 
following dataset:

http://tds-dev.marine.rutgers.edu:8082/thredds/catalog.html?dataset=5MHz_2012_01_01_totals

The display of each variable doesn't appear to be properly formatted.

Here's the markup I'm using in the catalog.xml:

<!-- Serve a single file -->
 19   <datasetRoot path="codar" 
location="/home/coolgroup/Codar/sandbox/data/5MHz/2012" />
 20   <dataset name="January 1, 2012 5MHz(6km) MARACOOS Hourly Surface 
Currents" dataType="Grid" ID="5MHz_2012_01_01_totals" urlPath

 37               name="time"
 38               vocabulary_name="time"
 39               units="days since 2001-01-01 00:00:00 UTC">Time</variable>
 40           <variable
 41               name="u"
 42               vocabulary_name="surface_eastward_sea_water_velocity"
 43               units="cm/s">Surface Eastward Seawater Velocity</variable>
 44           <variable
 45               name="v"
 46               vocabulary_name="surface_northward_sea_water_velocity"
 47               units="cm/s">Surface Northward Seawater Velocity</variable>
 48       </variables>
 49
 50   </dataset>

Any idea on what I'm doing wrong that's making the variable list look as 
follows:
Variables:

 *   Vocabulary [CF-1.6]:

    *   Variable List Itemtime (days since 2001-01-01 00:00:00 UTC) = Time = 
time
    *   Variable List Itemu (cm/s) = Surface Eastward Seawater Velocity = 
surface_eastward_sea_water_velocity
    *   Variable List Itemv (cm/s) = Surface Northward Seawater Velocity = 
surface_northward_sea_water_velocity
Or is this how they are normally displayed?

thanks,
John
